KINGSTON, N.Y. -- A 63-year-old Phoenicia man who police said they believed intended to kill his girlfriend in a Dec. 31, 2012, incident in Saugerties has been indicted by an Ulster County grand jury on 13 counts of felony criminal contempt.

The grand jury on Thursday also indicted John R. Howland of 20 Church St. on three counts of possession of a weapon, two counts of drunken driving and one count of resisting arrest, all misdemeanors.

Saugerties town police said they responded to a 9:25 p.m. call on Dec. 31 from a resident at 66 Montgomery St. in the village reporting that a man, armed with a shotgun, was on the property and making threatening statements to harm a person he believed was inside the residence.

When police arrived, they saw a man fitting the description they had received fleeing in a Toyota Camry on Montgomery Street. The man, later identified as Howland, refused to stop and led police on a 15-minute chase toward Woodstock.

Police said Howland's car eventually was stopped on MacDaniel Road in Woodstock by a combination of a roadblock and spike strips.

According to police at the time, Howland refused to comply and was eventually subdued with a Taser. Police said they found a loaded shotgun and a loaded rifle in Howland's car.

At the time, police said the criminal contempt charges stemmed from violation of an order of protection.

Howland remained in Ulster County Jail Tuesday in lieu of $25,000 bail.
